Review title of АмедексиусPerspective Broadcasting

As a Russian, my opinion may be biased, but it is my opinion, regardless. This app gets a lot of hate for being a pure-Russian biased news station. I agree, that it can be a bit more understanding of Western perspective, but regardless of that, it is the perspective of Russia on the world. I have rarely seen a Western news agency write ANYTHING positive about Russian interests, and I rarely see RT do the same. In order to try and balance bias, I also listen to BBC and CNN to counter perspectives. Regardless, you will never see a news agency be centre opinionated. As for news, I really enjoy how Russia Today has very fast coverage on many events. I as well enjoy the set-up of the app, and that it does not eat up my computer's processing power.

Review title of DouglasFed Up With the Corporate-Controlled and Owned US News

This news service is one of the best sources around that focuses in real news and what is really happening. Al Jazeera and The Guardian are as great as well.

While RT has a slightly pro friendly Russian feel when doing Russian stories. I think it is by far one of the most informative source of information out there. It had not been corporitized. Yet.

Review title of EThe news source you've been looking for.

This is the answer to the Elitist owned & controlled News Media of America & Europe. Finally some real journalism & an independent voice that's been missing from the world.

Review title of FoxyBugged, please fix it

It needs to be fixed. It is not scrolling through stories anymore, and doesn't update stories, even though the live tile option is turned on, and it is like this no matter what size the tile.

Review title of MichaelBest news media in the US

It's actually sad that in this country in order to get accurate news we have to turn to Russia Today. Hands down the best media outlet. Ditch the MSM propaganda machine and make the switch to RT.

Review title of WilliamGreat news, ugly app.

1 less star for: how come content in an app loads FAR slower than on the website? Please consult with a real UI/UX designer.

1 less star for having even less appealing UI & UX now than ever before.

Great news, great app. Lacking comments for now, but hopefully they'll add the feature soon. Maybe a swipe left news list, swipe right reading pane would be nice too.
